Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in Australia — and for good reason. They’re quick, effective, and when performed by the right hands, deliver results that look completely natural.

But if you’ve never had them before, it’s completely normal to have questions. What exactly are they? Will they make me look frozen? Does it hurt? How long does it last?

Let’s clear it all up.

What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified protein to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for creating expression lines — the kind that appear when you frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows. Over time, repeated muscle movement causes these lines to become permanently etched into the skin. Anti-wrinkle injections interrupt that process.

The most commonly treated areas include:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines between the brows (the “11s”)
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Bunny lines on the nose
• Lip lines and chin dimpling

Will I Look Frozen or Unnatural?

This is the most common concern — and it’s a valid one. The “frozen” look that people worry about is almost always the result of too much product or poor technique.

At One Skin Aesthetics, our injectors are trained to enhance your natural features, not erase them. The goal is always a refreshed, rested appearance — one where people notice you look great, not that you’ve had something done.

The dose and placement are everything, and we take both very seriously.

Does It Hurt?

Most clients are pleasantly surprised. The needles used are extremely fine, and the injections are quick. Most people describe the sensation as a small pinch — over in seconds. No anaesthetic is typically needed, though we can apply a numbing cream beforehand if you prefer.

The entire appointment usually takes no longer than 15–30 minutes, making it genuinely possible to have treatment done on your lunch break.

When Will I See Results — And How Long Do They Last?

Results typically begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full results visible by 2 weeks. Most clients enjoy their results for 3–4 months, after which the muscle activity gradually returns and a top-up treatment is recommended.

With regular maintenance, many clients find that their muscles become less active over time — meaning results can last longer between appointments.

Is It Safe?

Anti-wrinkle injections have been used safely in both medical and cosmetic settings for decades. When administered by a qualified and experienced injector, they carry a very low risk of side effects. At One Skin Aesthetics, your safety and comfort are always our first priority.

We always conduct a thorough consultation before any treatment — discussing your medical history, your goals, and what realistic results look like for you.
